Shooting a LH Browning A-Bolt Micro 2
Current load: 12.6gr Lil Gun with a 40gr vmax, this load is shooting great, but I'm looking for other loads to try!

Hey gobig I’m shooting the exact same load in the same rifle but RH. Haven’t found anything else near as accurate. Federal Small Pistol primers as well.
 
If you want to try something completely different, my Anschutz likes an all - Winchester recipe - Win SR Primer, Win case, Win 296, Win 46 Gr. HP. Winchester load data. Under 3/4" and factory load speed.

It shoots great, my only down side is that shooting beaver, it hits a little too hard... I used to shoot 45gr remington factory HP in my previous hornets and it was the best beaver round I had ever shot. I tried the Hornady 45gr HP "Bee" bullets, but didnt have good accuracy.... So hopefully I can find another load. The 40gr vmax shoots amazing and does a real number on gophers!
 
12.6 gr lil gun in 35, 40 and 45gr bullets. Sub moa for all 3. My 340 isn't fussy.

I've used everything from sierra 35gr and 40gr hornet sp to v-max 35gr to 40gr and 45gr hornady hornet sp. It even shot 40gr v-max but the col was too long to fit in the magazine.

I was thinking of picking up some 2400 and trying it in both the hornet and my 7.62x25mm....
